| - Per my local friend's suggestion, 4 of us (plus a 2-week old baby) had a fabulous dinner at Pizzeria Libretto. This restaurant is ridiculously popular and extremely crowded even late at night (it was still extremely crowded even when we left around 10:30 or so on Friday).
We shared a bottle of red wine (fabulous), a cheese plate with homemade crackers and assorted condiments (I especially adored the fig jam). My friend's wife also had a gorgeous-looking Caprese salad.
My friend and his wife both ordered Ontario Prosciutto & Arugula each, which looked scrumptious. My boyfriend and I ordered grilled eggplant pizza (his favourite) and Verdura (Goat Cheese, Black Olives, Mozzarella: my favourite) pizza. I loved the chili oil, which was spicy enough. However, my friend got us a small bowlful of chopped up green chili (the one you might see at a Thai or Vietnamese restaurant), which was a lot hotter than the chili oil or chili flakes. I usually love hot and spicy food, but I really didn't think the green chili was necessary...
We also ordered some espresso (very strong!), Espresso Cinnamon Gelato (very espresso-y and sweet cinnamon aftertaste), Biscotti, and Vanilla Affogato (YUM!!!).
Although the restaurant doesn't accept reservations, they did call us when our table was ready. Also, they were accommodating and helpful with my friend's 2-week old baby (who thankfully slept through the dinner despite of all the noise and commotion around her).
We all enjoyed the food, wine, and conversations (and I am glad I wasn't starving!).
